GAS BRACKET, PENDANT, AND THE LIKE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 24:, 1908.

Application fi1ed September 24, 1906. Serial No. 336,012.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDUARD ScnwnR iN, manufacturer, a subject of the King of Prussia, German Emperor, and residing No. 118 Alexandrinen street, Berlin, in the Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, have invented new and useful Improvements in and Connected with Gas Brackets, Pendants, and the Like, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an arrangement of standard or pendent incandescent gaslights for show or advertising purposes, which are set in rotation by wind wheels, spring mechanisms or the like.

The improvement consists in the combination of a revolubly mounted and rotating gasand air-mixing tube, which bears incandescent lamps, with a fixed gasand air-mixing nozzle, which extends into the mentioned rotating mixing tube.

The invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side view partially in section of a lyre-shaped form of construction; Fig. 2 is a detail in sectional view and on a larger scale, showing a clockwork-mechanism of well known construction inclosed in a casing; and Fig. 3 is a cross-section alongthe line A-A of Fig. 2 and shows the ratchets, partially in section, and pawlsfor stopping the clockwork-spring.

The lyre-shaped frame has below an upright nozzle a which has above a short tubular attachment. Over this attachment, the mixing pipe I) of the incandescent gaslight burner is freely but yet tight-fittingly placed. The mixing tube 1) is connected with the usual burners c, and the whole is suspended by means of a rigid or elastic connecting piece e from a clockwork mechanism arranged in a casing d, which is attached to the upper part of the lyre frame. The position as regards height of the burner is such, that the mixing tube does not rest firmly on the nozzle 0, but is loosely held thereon in such a way as not to oppose too great a frictional resistance to the rotation.

The clockwork which operates the rotation of the burner is of well known construction,

consisting of watch-spring g, the lone end of which is connected with a shaft 7L and the other end. with a casing i which is loosely mounted upon this shaft and provided with a sprocket-wheel 7c and with a pinion Z. To the shaft h is fixed a second sprocket-wheel 'm with which a pawl n meshes for stopping the movement of the shaft in one direction. A second pawl 0 is arranged for stopping the casing i when the shaft h is revolved for winding up the watch-spring. The pinion Z causes the gear p to revolve with the shaft e. A spring g is inserted between the wall of the casing 05 and the pinion Z and acts to retard the revolving movement of the pinion Z and of the gear p by producing a more or less slight frictional resistance.

As is evident from the foregoing, the invention may be applied without further difficulty either to a standard or to a pendent incandescent gaslight apparatus, it being immaterial whether the latter has only one or several burners. The mounting which forms the object of the present invention may be also applied to the burners in the case of crown lights, wall brackets, table lampsand the like without the means necessary for producing the revolubility causing any difficulties in the arrangement.

. Having now described my invention, what I wish to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:

In a carrier for gas incandescent lamps, the combination of a suspended clock-work; a mixing-tube suspended from said clock work and carried and adapted to be rotated by the same; a plurality of gas incandescent lamps attached to and being uniformly dis tributed around said mixing tube; a stationary gas-nozzle taking into the lower end of the mixing-tube, and a rigid frame supporting said gas-nozzle and connecting it with the suspended clock-work so as to keep the parts in their proper relative position and distance, for the purpose as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two Witnesses.

EDUARD SCHWERIN. Witnesses:
